[Greed's voice purrs out in metallic static. There's the faintest catch of the radio - something sultry, jazzy.]

"If you've got the number, it means I like ya. Sorry to disappoint, but I'm out right now - all work and no play. If you're looking for a face-face visit, head down to The Devil's Nest. I'll be glad to entertain."

[Thunk go a pair of boots.] "If you're looking for something personal, you know what to do."

[nestingdevil]

heyhey now noone said anytgin about that

how much now?

➥ TEXT

[glowsferatu]

we need a lot of candy its a halloween tradition
how could anyone tell you about halloween without mentioning candy and costumes theyre the most central conceits of the event
maybe 100 dollars

[nestingdevil]

he mentined it jst didnt think we needed all that

fine fine tke it from the safe below jus maek sure we get it bck by the end of the night

➥ TEXT

[glowsferatu]

im just thinking in bulk
with aggressive enough advertisement we can expect a rather busy night
so the need and the earnings would both be justified

or if any trick-or-treaters get the silly idea to go on our side of town
ill probably just give them a fair amount and send them home directly

[nestingdevil]

seems so guese thats more of a rson why i hired you right


nt rly a place for kids but not like im about to say no. just mke sure its worth it

➥ TEXT

[glowsferatu]

thats precisely why
i may mind the bar and the customers at times
but the real job has always been crunching the numbers and ensuring we are well-stocked
trust me ill handle it

and no it really isnt a place for children [ says the 17yo. ]
but thats why id send them home safely

➥ TEXT

[nestingdevil]

yeah it s theres a reson i hired yiu lovely i dont doubt it

good kids tnd to be more trouble than theyre worth

➥ TEXT

[nestingdevil]

➥ TEXT

➥ TEXT

[glowsferatu]
